runners vs. cyclist

[Grog]

I do both, run and ride, but I think they're missing something here. Cyclists look like that at runners b/c they have to swerve out onto the road to give the runner room, therefore putting themselves in danger of being hit by a car.

I think the same is true for cars, actually: unless the road is deserted, they have to swerve out onto the other lane to give the cyclist room, therefore putting themselves in danger of being hit by a car.

Or so, at least, do they perceive.

Or they see the cyclist at the last minute/second, they're startled, and scared.

There's lots to be learned about how WE can be more safe by studying our interactions with other vulnerable users of the road.
